Chiffon Cake黑芝麻戚风蛋糕

*makes a 8” tube chiffon pan

4 egg yolks
(A size)

15g caster
sugar

60g corn oil

60g milk

70g cake
flour

20g pure
black sesame powder

4 egg white
(A size)

70g caster
sugar

1/4tsp cream
of Tartar or 1/2tsp lemon juices

Method

Immediately separate cold eggs after taken them out from
the refrigerator (cold eggs separate more easily) into two mixing bowls
(No oil and no water in these bowls, clean and dry bowls). Set aside and
allow them return to room temperature.

Add sugar into egg yolks, immediately lightly whisk the
egg yolks and sugar till light (Try to whisk immediately once sugar is
added into egg yolks, egg will cover the sugar and turned hard if sit
there for too long).

Add in corn oil, mix well. Then add in milk, stir well to
combine. Add in flour and black sesame powder, stir to well combine.

Take 1/3 of meringue and use a hand whisk to mix well and
lighten the egg yolk batter (Do not worry you will deflate the batter at
this stage )

Now change hand whisk to a silicone spatula, fold in 1/3
of meringue, gently fold with egg yolk batter till slightly combined. Fold
in the balance meringue and gently fold till well combined.

Pour cake batter into chiffon pan, wipe off those excess
batter stick on the tube or insert area. Fill batter about 80% full but
not fill too full as cake has no space to rise while baking and resulted
cake shrinkage. Tap pan on the counter top to remove air trapped inside
the batter.

Bake at pre-heated oven at 170c for 35mins-40mins or until
cooked.

Once baked, turn your chiffon tin upside down and cool completely
before remove from the tin.

Chiffon cake is ready to unmould. You can use a plastic
thin spatula to run the pan and unmould the chiffon or you can unmould
using bare hands method if you have master this skill.
